>patch tube>patch fails instantly>cleaning it with iso doesnt help>clamping it during gluing doesnt help>heat gunning it doesnt help>install new tube>it just splits along the seamsZERO DAYS SINCE LAST JEWISH TRICKWHERE TO COP AFFORDABLE SOLID RUBBER TIRES, I AM FUCKING DONE WITH THIS PROTESTANT "FREE MARKET" DESIGNED TO FAIL NONSENSE
orchs at JFK airport made a dent in my steel surly ogre frame while having a layover on the way from south america. it's about 20 mm long and 2-4 mm deep. it's on the underside of the downtube to the right (southwest if you would be looking down the tube towards the bottom bracket)should I care about this at all? rj the bike guy has a vid on rolling out dents but how much does that actually do for the frames structural soundness? I ride on very rough rocky roads fully loaded so i'd like it not to die on me in the middle of nowhere..
>>2062542>>2062543Stop being poor.
>>2062543yeah, ring them up surly they're gonna care
>>2062542Just buy a new one you retard.
>>2062545is $1 and $1000 the same to you
>>2062549Yes. Maybe you should try getting a job.
>>2062542stop buying cheap toobs
>>2062551my tubes came with that exact tire lever and it broke on first use. I was wondering why they felt the need to include three. When one snapped and the other bent instantly I understood.
>>2062551>26"this image is NOT real.
>>2062543won't matter structurally but in the long term it may develop into a rust-risk so you should at least patch the paint
>>2062542>too poor to just get a new tube>too stupid to just patch a tube
>>2062542I answered you in the old thread if you'll check there so I don't need to copy it over here
>>2062543it's fucking steel on an already overbuilt frame. that little one mm ding is completely insignificant
>>2062552Pedros levers best levers
>>2062563nta but i have pedros and they've been fine. i can't see how they'd be much better than anything else though, they look like chunky 3d printed plastic. how shit can similar ones be to break instantly?
>>2062560they are not tpu and i am using rubber from another tube with proper rubber cement. and this cement worked just fine on a hand truck tube. fuck you
>>2062563nah crank bros
Why 650B?26" dead??!
>>2062543>I ride>flies>structural soundnessthe frame is fine.
>>2062567guess you're just retarded then>>2062568also good but it didn't work for my kevlar bead like pedros. but I only have one of the CB
>>2062567>i am using rubber from another tubeyou need a patch, retard. that's why the glue isn't sticking. patches have the special orange bottoms that stick to the glue.moron.
>>2062576
got a very good deal on a 2016 propel advanced framesetGonna throw nice parts at it
>>2062567a hand truck tire goes to like 15 psi.you need a bike tube patch and vulcanizing fluid
>>2062576This. You can't just bond rubber to other rubber.
>>2062577>rubber cementThis would never work. It's not vulcanizing.
>>2062561>>2062554thanks anons. re-did the inside coating but will patch up outside as well thanks. actually have met several people on this particular frame who broke their chainstay/dropout welds while running a rohloff hub so i unfortunately don't think fat tubes is all but i'll just trust the steel
What are some /n/ kinos? ki/n/os if you will
>>2062543Looks fine to me since the dent looks smooth/shallow, as opposed to having a sharp crease that would grow into a crack over time.>>2062572Bigger wheels roll over things better and modern frames pretty much all have sloping toptubes that minimize issues with standover height so 650b/27.5 works for people taller than 150cm. The number of people who would benefit from 26" coming back is small, that's why it's a niche option these days.>>2062578it was cheap because you can't clear wider than 25mm tires and the cable routing is horrible>>2062585Ladri di Biciclette, Nasu: Summer in Andalusia, The Flying Scotsman
>>2062588get on my lvl my fork accepts 23mm max
>>2062585Breaking Away
>it was cheap because you can't clear wider than 25mm tires and the cable routing is horribleFits 28s with the break upgrade that it already has on it>cable routing looks kinda normal for the period. Might fuck around with it and make it cleaner but idc really main bike is all internal hydro, having a 2016 propel as a shitbike seems like fun.My nigga has one slightly newer but same shit and its kinda sexy. Had a go on it, got high, bought a mint frame for 200buxthat leaves me over 1k to throw wheels and groupset at it and still spend less than he did, comes with some nice carbon discs but they are tubular so im gonna yeet them into the sea like frisbees and lowball some local tt nerd on a wheelset and then probably throw 11speed 105 on it
how much slack should the chain have on a single speed? should have any slack?
>>2062593My method is a bit biketistic but detailed enough to document. First rotate the crank until the chain is at its tightest, we want to measure slack when a chain is at its tightest and not its loosest point. This happens because of imperfect tolerance creep which is normal, this is important because setting slack during the loosest point can cause binding when it's at its tightest point. Binding will cause premature wear to all the drivetrain parts, especially the bearings. Now we can measure slack, pick the closest to the middle of the chain between the ring and sprocket. Somewhere between 2-5mm of slack is good for a fresh chain and high quality parts with good tolerance. The tolerance for slack can be as high as 1-2cm but more than that and chain drop becomes an issue. Looser is actually faster and less wear than tighter but has less direct pedal feel (important for fixies chain drop is death). Singlespeed can run quite a lot slack without chain dropping, you'll have to get a feel for it over time
>>2062595I forgot to close it with, check the final slack after adjusting, make sure the chain stays loose and does not bind. Binding is when you check for slack and the chain doesn't move because it's too tight. Checking for slack requires no real force, just movement
>>2062588>Bigger wheels roll over things better>modern frames sloping TT>650B works for >150cmNo shit sherlock!>number of people who would benefit from 26" back is smallIf I would follow through with your line of argumentation everyone would be on 622, not 559 or 584. Or 32" meme bikes. So I don't really see a definitive answer here.On the contrary: 559 is just farther removed from 622 than 584, so IF the market was to offer options, I personally don't see the point of making them more similar or arbitrary even.Sure you named one of the advantages of larger wheels. But smaller ones always had several advantages:More obtuse bracing angle for the same flange width - > stronger.More hoop strength - > stronger.Shorter lever - > you guessed it: stronger.Fatter tires for a given OD - > let's you fit fatter tires without awkwardly big wheels (559 probably lived the longest in fat bikes) Lighter for the same strength (Yes yes II know, industry thinks they have solved strength and durability for good - or maybe just found out the majority neither uses nor loads up their bikes seriously) etc.So since there is no one single argument against a 'smaller' wheel (from a 700c standpoint) it still seems odd that people would choose to repopularize an antique and almost obscure wheelsize closer to 700C and ditch 26" for it.Fuck market forces.
>>2062576Ofc he can do that. Thats pretty normal practice and doesn't require (((patches))). Got plenty of fixes like that in my wheel. Retard.>>2062580Retard.>>2062567When using a patch from another tube you must make sure to wait until the vulcanizing agent has completely dried. You should do that aswell with patches but becauye of mongoloids like the two above they make the patches so that the solvent can still evaporate from underneath. Not the case with butyl, if you slap it on wet it can't evaporate. Let it dry first.
Always the same story on 4ch: Fucking spastics know nothing but that doesn't stop them from posting and speeading their misinformation.
>>2062595>>2062596appreciated
>>2062600You can't just bond rubber to rubber magically, you need vulcanizing fluid. "Rubber Cement" is not a vulcanizing agent, it's just cement with rubber particles in it. It would never work to patch a tube.
>>2062605>moving the goalpostYou know exactly anon just 'uses that word' and we all know what he means: That fat tube containing... gelified naphta? What everyone uses. I guess there even is a small addition of cement in there for ease of use. And the word 'cement' is definately more appropiate than 'glue' which also some. use interchangeably, as the method is the same.Either way, everyone knows what he is using and Anons specifically claimed you could not use pieces of tube. Moronic and consume brained. Buy a new kit everytime the patches run out eh?
>>2062606>Buy a new kit everytime the patches run out eh?Yes. Patches are for emergency use only. You throw that shit away when you get home and just buy a new fucking tube. Stop being poor.
>>2062608Thid is arguably wrong. Patched tubes are perfectly fit for service. I got tubes that are more patch than tube by now and still run fine. It's a question of mentality. Some ethnicities - it is speculated that this is due to favourable climatical conditions in their ancestral lands - lack foresight, consideration and accountability. Those people behave like that. Gibsmedat, throw in trash and gibsmedat again.
>>2062610>Some ethnicities - it is speculated that this is due to favourable climatical conditions in their ancestral lands - lack foresight, consideration and accountability. Those people behave like that. Gibsmedat, throw in trash and gibsmedat again.Californians?
>>2062606>You know exactly anon just 'uses that word' and we all know what he meansnope>I tell him to use vulcanizing fluid >>2062567>i am using rubber from another tube with proper rubber cement
>>2062608I roll patched tubes until the valve fails or it gets a hole close to the valve that a patch can't cover, and I've been doing this for decades including daily commuting off and on.so no. you are wrong. shut the fuck up and die in a fire.
>>2062593yes, if it's too tight it fucks your shit up, a few mm of slack is good
>>2062620Maybe you are feeling named when you are not?Anon asks a question,first retard tells him he NEEDS 'a patch' (anything is a patch), because of the 'special red bottom' (they come in all colors of the rainbow and it's only to stop idiots who can't read instruction from failing), 'it will stick to the gLuE'.Next moron explains: He 'can't bond rubber to rubber'.If you're not one of those my criticism was likely not directed towards you.But 'cement isn't vulcanizing' doubtfully is of any help for Anon if he has to ask this.>>2062621This. I keep collecting tubes on a hanger, when it's fully and spares run low I take an hour to fix them all and roll them. up the next morning. Back in the spares oile they go.Also some tube sizes are really hard to get now, not as hard as the tires but still.
>>2062608You are so utterly wrong, you can patch a tube indefinitely as long as the patches don’t overlap
>>2062649You can overlap patches just fine.
>>2062605it actually does work.I think its the pressure of the tube against the tire that helps. I use dollar store rubber cement to bond a scrap piece of TPU to my TPU tube with a puncture and its held no problem.
>>2062621You're so fucking poor lmao
>>2062666This, "rubber cement" does not do shit, it's the pressure of the tube inflated against a high quality tire that keeps the patch on.
>>2062666OFC it works to a degree. ITT there's too many GCN apostoles who discovered bicycles yesterday talking out of their ass and being anal about peoples terminology. A bond that is strong enough and reasonably airtight will do the job and get bonus points for flexibility. With low pressure tires many got away with duct tape and other material wedged in as to cover the hole in the tire if there is one. The 'right' way to do a permanent repair is 'vulcanisation'. You use picrel, it contains naphta, which fucks with the sulfur bonds (from the actual vulcanization process at the factory) and slap a patch from an old tube or funny colored bottom.Note how the tube of the stuff you definately want to use even says 'cement' so anon getting unreasonable flak up there might even be right to begin with. As opposed to 'glue' and other midwit takes.I still suspect the stuff contains, besides naphta, some rubber cement to aid you in getting some initial adhesion.
>>2062676>cementIt's junk Just get a new tube
>>2062676>and slap a patch from an old tubethis doesnt work you cant just put an old tube over the hole it doesnt make a new tube.
>>2062679Had this discussion on /n/ many times and it is pretty fruitless. It usually goes like this:The motorist assumes motorism was the definition of wealth and no one would freely choose not to. Instead refusing motorism was just a lack of funds and everyone would, if they had the funds, be a motorist. Meanwhile motorism and especially the obsession with automobiles is one of the most poverty coded things there is.Next comes ad hominem.>You're poor.You argue it isn't so, quite the opposite.They ask you to prove it. (Dubious how that matters or why one would have the obligation when it does nothing to prove the point.)So if you then decide to actually go that route for once and prove it they do a complete 180:>You can just afford to be a moralizing asshole, you have all the time in the world to waste. Meanwhile I can not affoed that, I have to go places and time is money, I have to wage slave and it's a 5 hour commute in a car etc.Yeah nah not going there.Funny enough, all my friends are far worse off than I am, materially, and they're all motorists.
>>2062681I have literally posted 2 pictures of good patches made from old tubes ITT.Gosh whenever I decide to come back I instantly start hating /n/ again.
>>2062682>wah wah it's le cagies wah wahTry patching a real tire sometime. You can't just use elmer's glue and a piece of random scrap to do it. You are literally just poor.
>>2062682>Meanwhile motorism and especially the obsession with automobiles is one of the most poverty coded things there is.I've had this discussion not only on /n/ but real life as well. The majority of our citizens are so heavily oil indoctrinated, they fail to realize this. They're happy as debt slaves to big oil and big auto. They're happy being a labor asset to capitalism instead of being human. They're happy being cattle for a government that doesn't care about them. And that's ok but where the line ends are people like us who have no representation regarding where our taxes are being allocated for pro oil and pro auto agendas that is destroying our country and further dividing the class gap. That class gap will be the reason the empire will fall and many people who deserve to die will die
>>2062697We, you and I, might arrive at the same. conclusion but for diametrically opposed reasons.
How the FUCK do I remove my freewheel?Anons two weeks ago made it sound like it'd be easy, that I'd get my old freewheel off of my old wheel and put it on my new one easily, yet here I am unable to do it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdQE8-ea1uwI'm following this video, "just turn the tool anti-clockwise" doesn't work, any wrench or pliers I'm using simply slip under the amount of force I'm applying, but it still doesn't move the freewheel at all. Nothing I've tried can get it off or loosen it even slightly.What the fuck do I do now?
>>2062728>>2062727You don't. It's not a replaceable part you faggot.
>>2062729What are you talking about?
>>2062730Bicycles aren't meant to be serviced. Just buy a new one. If you can't, maybe you should try getting a job.
>>2062728Is there a splined lockring? It's rare to see an actual thread-on freewheel cogset these days. Most likely you have a cassette hub and you'll need a chainwhip plus the appropriate lockring tool. Also if you've been trying to force it for a week you've probably already destroyed the hub.
>>2062737The inner part is 12 splines, doesn't move at all, diameter of 23mm. Going by the videos I believe that means it's a freewheel and uses an FR-1.3 tool to remove it.
>>2062728they're a motherfucker to get off because every time you pedal the bike, it's tightening the threads. so it quickly becomes as tight as physically possible. it can sometimes defeat an adjustable wrench's jaws.I use a one inch wrench on the box end. a good trick is to put the spline tool on the freewheel and then put the quick release skewer back through the axle and the spline tool together, snug so you can beat the shit out of it and the spline tool can't fall off.hold the wheel upright like how it is on the bike with the wrench at about ten o'clock. beat the far end downward with a rubber mallet, or tape a block of wood on the wrench and use a regular hammer or a brick etc. it's best if the tire is still mounted since it provides friction and padding but if you're taking the freewheel off an old wheel with no tire you'll need some kind of pad under the rim.if you have a shop vise bolted to your bench, you can clamp the spline tool in there, drop the freewheel in it, and turn the wheel like a car steering wheel.
The end of an era
>>2062756no more mustache man? noooo!
wow thank god someone made a general for bike questions
>>2062613Californians.
>>2062728get a length of pipe and stick it over the handle of your wrench. longer lever= more force on the tool. keep your eye open for anyone throwing out a broken floorstanding lamp. the pipe is threaded in sections that are nice and long and the diameter is wide enough to go over large wrench ends.I've also used pipe from downed chainlink fence but you probably need a grinder to remove it or get it to functional length
My spokes are making noise occasionally. Are they haunted or just chinesium? Could it be both? ARe chinese ghosts as qt as in my quebecois animés?
>>2062538>Wonder why I'm getting skipping on my two fastest speeds>Not only have I worn down that part of the cassette, the chain is rusted>remember that I keep my bike outside under a tarp (I live in an apartment)>remenber that it fell over at lest once last year in a rain storm with wind exposing the chainIf I'm lucky I'll only need to replace the chain but I know what to buy. It's a 7 speed mountain bike but I use it as a commuter. I was going to ask about what bags and cargo rack to buy for grocery shopping/transporting Warhammer minis while shitposting as a Ork but now I'm not in the mood now.>>2062756I was just watching him last night talk about bike maintenance. Who's going to show me how to maintain my ride now?
>>2062832is your bike blue by any chance?
>>2062841idk im colorblind
>>2062838Spending a couple bucks extra on a quality chain is often worth it for commuters.The HG95 I use has been really rust resistant for me. Sitting outside and exposed to salted roads and no issues with rust.
>>2062860But how do I know if a part is weather resistant? All the Amazon pages for chains don't list anything, just what speeds thay will fit.
wilier jena or canyon inflite? pls help me anons i'm too retarded to choose and they're both discounted a decent amount.
>>2062883Seeing how you don't even know if you want a gravel bike or a cyclocross bike id say go for the jena lol
>>2062883I'd take the one with more colours
>>2062884i currently ride a rim brake road bike, i figured i should just go for literally anything with wider tires and hydro disks>>2062885well the canyon also comes in ugly green, and the wilier comes in green with an ugly brown fork. honestly i don't mind the grey, looks kinda classy.
>>2062882Shimano has SIL-TEC (PFAS) coating on their higher end chains. Works really well against corrosion. They are also from their Japanese fab and noticeably better made when compared to the Chinese made ones.
>>2062891>(PFAS) coating
>>2062883>>2062886the jena has more tire clearance and a number of extra accessory mounting points including fork mounts which might be nice if you ever want to do any bikepacking
>>2062883The willier doesn't tell you what wheels it comes with just "miche graf" which is a whole line of wheels, I would say get the canyon even though DT swiss isn't anything special at least they're not trying to lie to you. Why are italian bike brands so arrogant? This is why no one buys them except collectors and contrarians
>>2062897>which is a whole line of wheelsthere is also one that is just called GRAFF and its the only one that makes sense...
>>2062883Don't be silly, ride a willy!
>>2062893Can't escape being a KrautMeant PTFE of course
>>2062882Everything for bikes on Amazon is fake Chinese shit.
>>2062882 shinier = better
Recommendations for a top tube bag? Should fit phone, a somewhat chunky wallet and some snacks, so probably around 1L.
>>2062918>Everything for bikes on Amazon is fake Chinese shit.Why does Amazon allow this? I live in a US suburb so I don't know what I can expect to find at retail. I see Shimano chains on Walmart.com but will they be on a shelf next to cheap kids bikes?>>2062919TY Anon.
>>2062932amazon is currently in the "eliminate all competition" stage, that means ALL competition. the neighborhood grocery, the neighborhood pharmacy, ebay, netflix, and jack ma's latest mega-unicorn from china, plus a bunch of business models you didn't even know existed. people have NO idea how much they're going to regret saving a buck today buying shit from amazon
>>2062932Why wouldn’t they allow it? It doesn’t harm their business because people shop there for convenience, not quality, and it’s much more profitable to sell fake stuff for $2 less than real stuff than it is to sell real stuff for full price.
>>2062542https://youtu.be/KCbHkmQmrUU?si=64KCz0OjpI0HXumSMake your tube thorn resistant. Just keep adding tubes. I have NEVER seen a 3 tube setup fail EVER. By the way you do know that low tire pressure is the #1 reason why flats happen? Pump your tires every ride. Buy a $15 electric pump from Amazon to make it fast
>>2062947i considered getting a 50(!) canadian spacecash 12v inflator but all the reviews were one star on all the ones available locally>>2062932>Why does Amazon allow this?rent-seeking. they dont sell you the shit, another company does. amazon is just the "marketplace"
>>2062542Just buy Schwalbe
>>2062947Higher pressures make pinch flats less likely but punctures from external debris more likely. You can’t win!
>be me>want to buy new bike>ask shop if they sell me the bike I want with less spacers and cut steerer tube because I don't want to fuck around with headset routing or pay for cutting after a week of owning it>"noo you gotta try 10cm of spacers first before knowing the stack you need and ride on several other bikes">leavethis industry deserves its decline. My next bike is a fucking canyon
>>2062981I’ve built my last 3 bikes from a bare frame and I can solidly recommend it, you get exactly what you want.
>>2062981I don't understand, you asked them to perform a permanent modification to a bike you hadn't purchased? what was the expected response? furthermore if you know you have such a specific need why don't you have the ability to do that yourself? I've got my gripes about shitty bike shops but this is just weird
>>2062984>you asked them to perform a permanent modification to a bike you hadn't purchasedNo I asked them if they would do it free of charge if I bought the bike.>what was the expected response?that a sale is more important than an hour of work or at least some kind of deal instead of flat out refusing it>furthermore if you know you have such a specific need honestly if you consider this a specific need you probably don't ride any bikes at all. Nobody under the age of 60 needs more than 30 mm of spacers on a road bike and if you do you're on the wrong bike>why don't you have the ability to do that yourself?Knowing what I'm getting myself into is exactly the reason why I don't want to do it myself. Having it done by someone who does it on regular basis is obviously better
>need some new spokes because I took a curb real bad, but have another wheel>but it's a nigger retard "aero" wheel with the stupid plastic spacer thing so the effective rim size for spokes is a little smaller than the actual wheel size>new spokes JUST THE FUCKING SPOKES cost 80$unironically considering just buying a fucking canadian tire "hybrid" off the rack just to rip parts off of it and calling it a day. then sawing the frame apart to make pipe bombs. prices on bike stuff are fucking ridiculous there is no reason a pack of 2mm solid wires with some threading at one end should be 80 fucking dollars. i hate protestants so fucking much
>>2062989What kind of spoke costs $80, is it one of those newfangled aramid carbon spokes?
>>2062992
also fuck the nigger tryhard aero add-on things>don't have an unflared magnetic flathead solid screwdriver>hope you like losing your spoke nuts forever then, assuming you can access them at all :)inb4 BUT MUH RIM SIDE PUNCTURES you're pinching that shit if you strike that hard and just get a roll of tape nigga (oh sorry i meant spend 36.54 on Rim Tape which is not actually tape but a big rubber band made by fusing a pre-cut length of ribbon made in in one of those machines designed to make shipping triwall boxes as unsafe as possible to handle, you cannot possibly use electrical or even foam tape to cover a nut that might have a burr in it) literally all it does is make it more annoying to service. not even harder. just takes longer and has more tiny little things to fuck up your day. like the only screwdrivers in existence that have the ridiculous 2mm bevels and are appropriately wide usually being flared, which means they won't fit through the holes in the rim expertly drilled to be misaligned and only slightly wider than the nut going into it. and lol lmao if you have a driver set for a socketed driver handle/ratchet, the extension rod won't fit in there. why would you ever want to access your spokes? clearly you should just buy a new wheel entirely :)
>>2062994Are you perchance confusing the cost for a box of spokes for the cost of a single spoke?
>think "maybe i should just get an entirely new bike">look at "gravel bikes">first one is over ten grand>has the same shitty shimano AIO brake-shifter unit that comes with every cambodian tire BSO>but on road bike drop handlebars for some reason>has the same chinese cable pull disc brakes I got on amazon for 20$ for a two-pack>it's not even the two pack; it does not have a rear brake nor any place to mount one>comes with a "cargo rack" pre-installed that would make the suspension not work>single 12 speed rear gear cassette, you dont get range gears>doesn't come with pedals>ok fine i will just get one used >every boomer's listing is some dogshit fixie rustbucket cruiser that looks like they fished it out of a swamp>2500$ OBO GENUINE VINTAGE FIXIE I KNOW WHAT I GOT NO TIREKICKERS NO LOWBALLERS SELLING TO MAKE SPACE WILL TRADE FOR F-150 BLACK OR PARATROOPER SKS SERIAL MATCHEDwhat in the protestant FUCK is going on
>>2062997rusty old fixed gear cruiser is peakboomer knows he gots a real transport steed and it ain't some raceist nushit carbon plastic toy
>>2062996no? I said "spokes" are 80 dollars. so more than one spoke. I assume the 70-80ish dollar listing is a 36pack (or at least some mostly reasonable number of them) and the ones with more extreme ranges are you can buy a single one of the SKU no one wants, or exactly 31 of a more popular size for almost 200$naturally, because online shopping, that's a pack of 50 (who needs exactly 50? arent most wheels 36?), "nipples" are not included, and it doesn't include the thread pitch or even nominal size of the threaded area
>>206298830mm is reasonable, you were prob. being a giant sperg ayway in that store.>>2062989>calculate spoke length wrong>look at DT shit and db spokes>hurr durr expensive>wHaT tHrEaD iS On ThESe?>>2062997thingsthatneverhappened.avif

>>2062988Yeah I'm going with the other guy's "giant sperg" assessment, cutting the steerer to order is a specific need (but I'm sure the guys at the shop were REALLY impressed and intimidated by your request, like damm, you want to lower those bars? that's fuckin hard core man! can I get your autograph?)
105 sucks dudes im sora for life
>>2062997>>2062995>>2062989you sure do love to complain in blogpost format.usually we talk about bike related questions here, not crying about late-stage capitalism
You know what I hate about bikes? being able to access the valve stems. I really wish someone made wheels that hide it entirely.
>>2063001>30mm is reasonableyeah but bikes get sold with >35mm as standard. Most have like 45mm
>>2063003post your spacer tower
Maybe you should just buy an appropriate frame instead of trying to get people to do hick monkey shit to it for free ?
>>2063008If you can't remove spacers on your own you shouldn't be complaining that a shop monkey knew what was best for you, this is something you should be able to do at the side of the road a few times during the ride to see what works and what doesn't. When you're more mature you'll look back and realize he was being nice to you.
>>2063010>appropriate frame frames get shipped and assembled with an inappropriate amount of spacers to sell them to old farts with back problems.
>>2063012Just because you can take out a spacer doesn't mean the frame is right for you. Just because you can pedal the bike doesn't mean you're operating at peak efficiency. Try this. Stand up with your legs straight. Now touch your palms to the ground without bending your knees. If you can, congrats for being more flexible than 99% of adults, go ahead and slam that stem big guy, you earned it. If you can't without bending your knees, congrats, you were the boomer!

Is there a name for the usual-but-not-standard 8 pin circular ebike 3 phase + 5 hall sensor motor connector? It's a chink thing, surely it's adapted from some earlier standard plug.
It's 2019. Is it so wrong to expect parts on my bike to not just werk, but at least allow me to attack them with tools when they don't?
